¹How to celebrate Holi and bring about permanent transformation.

²Today, the Father, the Bestower of Fortune for all, has come to celebrate the Holi of the jewels of knowledge with His holy swans.

³To celebrate means to celebrate a meeting. ⁴BapDada is always pleased to see each of the extremely loving, easy yogi, holy children, those who constantly co­operate in Baba's task, those who are transforming the world through their pure attitude and pure vision.

⁵The great souls of today are also praised as pure ones, but you elevated souls become holy in the highest way, that is, any impurity, even in thoughts or dreams, will not bring your pure attitude and drishti down from its pure stage.

⁶Because every thought is pure, that is, because the consciousness is pure, your attitude and vision automatically become pure.

⁷Not only do you become pure but you also purify matter.

⁸This is why when matter is pure you receive pure bodies for innumerable births in the future.

⁹Therefore, you become such holy swans, that is, elevated souls who constantly have pure thoughts.

¹⁰The highest­on­high Father makes you into those with such an elevated life in every aspect.

¹¹The purity is the highest purity; it is not ordinary.

¹²Ordinary pure souls will accept you as the great pure souls and will bow in front of you and say: Your purity is extremely elevated.

¹³Householders of today, because of considering themselves to be impure, bow their heads to the pure souls, thinking them to be great. ¹⁴However, they will accept that there is a great difference between the purity of you elevated pure souls and their purity.

¹⁵This festival of Holi is the memorial of the method of purification of you pure souls, because all of you numberwise pure souls burn impurity for all time in the fire of love in remembrance of Baba. ¹⁶This is why you first celebrate the Holi of burning.

¹⁷Then you celebrate the Holi of being coloured, that is, the Holi of celebrating a meeting.

¹⁸To burn something means to finish all name and trace of it.

¹⁹If people want to finish all name and trace of something, what do they do?

²⁰They burn it.

²¹This is why, after killing Ravan, they burn him.

²²This memorial of you souls is the burning of impurity, that is, you became pure, holy.

²³Baba always says that for Brahmins to celebrate Holi means to become holy.

²⁴So check: Have you simply killed impurity, or have you burnt it?

²⁵It is possible for someone who has died to come alive: the life remains hidden somewhere or other.

²⁶However, to burn something means to finish all name and trace of it.

²⁷How far have you come? ²⁸You have to check this for yourselves, do you not?

²⁹The hidden life of impurity should not come alive even in dreams.

³⁰Such a soul is known as an elevated, pure soul.

³¹Even dreams are transformed through thought.

³²Today, BapDada was seeing in the subtle regions the promises made by the children from time to time in thoughts and in writing.

³³Whether one is a maharathi in one's stage or a maharathi in service, both have made very good promises from time to time.

³⁴There are two types of maharathi.

³⁵One is to be a maharathi on the basis of effort made to attain blessings or the inheritance. ³⁶The other is to become a maharathi on the basis of one or another speciality in service.

³⁷Although both are called maharathis, the first variety you heard about: on the basis of the stage, they always swing in the swing of supersensuous joy in the mind, in the swing of contentment and the swing of being an embodiment of love received from everyone's heart.

³⁸The second variety are maharathis on the basis of their speciality in service: through their bodies, that is superficially, they appear to be an embodiment of the fruit of contentment.

³⁹Due to their speciality in service, their minds are content through the support of service.

⁴⁰Due to the speciality of service, there will be love from everyone, but not constantly either in their minds or in their hearts.

⁴¹Sometimes it will be superficial and sometimes in the heart. ⁴²However, speciality in service makes them maharathis; they are counted in the line of maharathis.

⁴³Therefore, today BapDada was seeing the promises of both the maharathis and the effort makers.

⁴⁴Only recently, you made many promises.

⁴⁵What did Baba see?

⁴⁶There is benefit in making a promise because the fruit of determination is attention.

⁴⁷A promise which is remembered again and again brings power.

⁴⁸Although, due to this, there is a little transformation, the seed still remains buried.

⁴⁹This is why, when a certain time or situation arises, because the seed that is buried receives the water of situations and reasons, its leaves begin to emerge once again.

⁵⁰It does not finish for all time.

⁵¹So BapDada was seeing who celebrated the Holi of burning. ⁵²When a seed is burnt, a burnt seed never bears fruit.

⁵³Everyone made promises: We will let the past be the past for whatever has happened up to now, whether to the self or to others. ⁵⁴We will finish everything and bring about transformation.

⁵⁵Everyone recently made promises.

⁵⁶You all make promises in your heart­to­heart conversations with Baba, do you not?

⁵⁷BapDada has a record of each one.

⁵⁸Promises are made in very beautiful forms.

⁵⁹Some through songs, some through poetry and some through pictures.

⁶⁰BapDada was seeing why transformation does not take place as much as you wish. ⁶¹What is the reason for this?
